There's a newer, better dancing game on the way. The catch? It's Hello Kitty

By IGN Staff

Since Parappa the Rappa, the dance & rhythm action genre's been on the rise. Certainly, with Enix's Bust a Move dancing game getting ready to hit the US, it's quit likely this type of game will be seeing more exposure in the domestic market. Of course, not even Parappa could've prepared you for the evil of Kitty the Kool: Dance! Dance! Dance!

For those of you who don't know who Hello Kitty is, she's the super-cute Sanrio character entered the US during the early '80s. She was Barney before Barney ever existed, and Hello Kitty's attempting to re-enter the consciousness of a whole new generation through a new Parappa-esque game.

It's still a "hit the button pattern at the right time" game, but there's more freedom in this game than either Bust a Move or Parappa. You'll be able freestyle and the music will change according to your own rhythm. Unfortunately, the music is more reminiscent of Japanese theater than the dance club.

If you've just got to have the latest dance game, just get the American Bust a Move when it comes out. Please.
